Where to get a big tank in OH

Hey guys,

I live in NE Ohio and am looking to upgrade to a 200-300gal tank.
The Aquarium Environments tanks are awesome but I wouldn't dare ask the cost of shipping one here from TX. Anywhere closer to me where I can get something made of Starfire glass or anything like that?

Thanks

I just bought a 380g tank off a guy in Indiana. When I picked it up he said he had it custom made by a company called Ostram (I think that was the name of it) in Ohio. It is probably the most well-built acrylic tank I've seen. Very nice, very thick. They done a really good job assembling it. I wouldn't know how to tell you to get in touch with them, but knowing the name Ostram might give you a trail to start on.

I'm in Ohio and just got a custom 500 gallon tank made by Aquarium Obsessed. They are just North of Toronto. I am VERY pleased.

I got a quote for shipping a 337 starphire, one from NJ , 300 miles away for 795. 00. The other from Canada, 2500 miles away for 500. 00. Don't ask me why the difference, aparently someone is making money on shipping. I went with the tank from Canada, they were also much cheaper for the tank.
